she was an interesting woman. She had a thing for men who spoke sharply to her and criticized her - no matter how lowly and crude they might be.

There is a family rumour that we may be related to Queen Victoria somehow on my mother's mother's side...my great-gramma actually looked like Queen Victoria - only happier

 

[BetteTheRed]

Sorry, BA, but I think everyone's great grandma looked a bit like her, presuming they never smiled. ;-)

But not all looked like her when they were younger too

Queen Victoria had a bunch of offspring. You might want to clarify the rumours and know the connection.

last and goodnight.

It could be via a distant cousin as I doubt it is from direct descent

Lovely sunny (non-windy) start to Victoria Day

Lovely sunny (non-windy) start to Victoria Day

The windy moved East, I think. It got very windy here during some rain storms yesterday afternoon (as in, at least picture of a tree down on the local rag's Twitter) and it's still kind of gusty outside this morning.

It's a wonder we didn't end up down east too the way it was gusting yesterday...I'm surprised there were no wind warnings.

I typed too soon earlier...the wind is so bad today (worse than yesterday) that I had to shut the sale down after barely 2 hrs as my signs were blowing all over as well as some of the sale items...it's also blowing some of my planters around - which they should be fairly heavy as I watered earlier this morning.

I can see why some prairie women went crazy during the 30's with the incessant wind and dirt blowing...we're soon going to see the same conditions the way the farmers are getting rid of all their windbreaks.

Break winds find themselves into political establishments!

Very windy here too - in gusts mainly, not so much sustained. Sun is going in & out. At LAST I finished up my weekend gardening at the school where I am volunteering. I hope the garden club kids will be excited to see some beds ready for planting Lots more to do - but it's a good start.

I was out cutting the lawn and repairing the step to our deck. The wind was actually kind of refreshing, if a bit chilly.

 

[BethAnne]

The wind here is pretty strong sustained and then brutal when it does gust. Oh well, I'm getting quite a bit of knitting done.

 

[Tabitha]

Muffins made, kitchen floor swept, dishwasher run, and laundry on. Glad I also took time to finish Netfix movie.

We're all set up in our new park. It was pretty easy and we're across from friends we met this winter. It's nice to come somewhere that has friends.

Moved the planters under the deck for now...too windy for them on the step

When driving on the prairie we experienced a dust storm. Had to quit driving for a few minutes. It was quite weird as we watched the cloud of dust coming and got slowly engulfed.
